Found Floating in the Dock,

The body OF Edward Robinson (col-
ored) was found in the dock off the foot
of Nineteenth street yesterday morning.
Robinson was about 50 years of age and
a plasterer by trade. The last time he was
seen was on the night of December 1,
nearly three months ago. He was in the
habit of using intoxicating liquor, and
he was probably under its influence when
ne wandered off and fell into the dock.
No marks of violence of any character
were found upon his body.
Owing to the length of time the body
had been under the water, the skin had
become almost white This caused the
circulation of the report that the body of
Mrs. Walker had been found. 1t seems
rather strange that Robinson was not dis
covered during the recent dredging for
Mrs. Walker, which was claimed to have
been so thorough.

The golden grain is now being harvested,

crop would help the farmers considerably.
People have turned their attention, to
some extent, to raising sorghum. AL
though it may not meet with ready sale,
yet every farmer should raise enough for
home consumption. As the old darky

pie can get labor for it, and barter it for
something they have not.
We noticed sometime since that either
the "INrELL1GENcER," or one of its cores
pondents, requested the farmers of this
County to take an account of the cost OF
the different kinds of crops they raised
this year, and ascertain which would be
most profitable to raise. We took an
account of the labor and expense of our
corn and cotton crops last year and am
doing so this year. We were so astonished
at the expense of our cotton crops that we
determined to curtail our cotton crop this

will give to the readers of the "INTELLIGEN-

On Wednesday it was accompanied by hail,
which cut up the cotton and corn conside-

Most of the road overseers in this section
have had their roads worked according to
law, and they are now in fine condition.
Most of our people are in favor of the late
law, all are in favor of good roads, but
some are not in favor of doing their part of
the work. Let the laws be enforced upon
all able-bodied men who fail to work the

The farmers are whetting their scythes

sented intemperance in its most horrid
appearance and then gave strong reasons
why we, as Christian people, should pro-
hibit the liquor traffic. Having concluded
his sermon, Mr.. Murray requested that all,
both old and young, male and female, who
favored prohibition as the Murray Bill
means to have it, should stand. This
request being promptly complied with, it

''And the Lord said unto Moses, speak

forward" In this discourse he set forth
the importance of work. There is time

never be removed by our lying supinely
